Amateur Microscopy
This is a forum for anyone interested in the tiny world revealed by the microscope. We welcome anyone from beginners to professionals, insofar as you do this for the love of the subject. Our aim is to encourage people to engage in direct observation of the microscopic world, using whatever tools to do that which suit their budget, their skills, and the room they have to do it in. Our focus is primarily with WHAT you see under the microscope, and only secondarily the instrument itself. We would also like to see our members join or form local amateur microscopy clubs wherever they happen to live, in order to develop personal relationships with others having the same interest and hobby. Our one inflexible rule on this forum is CIVILITY, by which we mean that we expect all posts to be respectful of others, and not abusive. Disagreement is expected and encouraged, but it can and must be done in a non-abusive and non-insulting manner. Flaming, advertising, and recruiting for political or religious causes are forbidden. And please read the forum guidelines in the Files section. Our second rule is to try to stick to the point – that point being microscopy. Our third rule is: HAVE FUN! Darkfield Microscope Medical Analysis!
This is a group for dark-field, phase contrast, and fluorescence medical/veterinary microscopists that are interested in sharing their ideas and experiences about "fresh" fluid analysis, though all forms of traditional clinical microscope analysis are welcomed. In fact, I would like to extend a special invitation to medical technologists/hematologists that are interested in fresh blood examination. I feel that in order for fresh blood work to become a valued diagnostic procedure, there has to be a close relationship and validation to what is observed via dark-field to what has been observed via the current popular clinical techniques---similar to how Gitte S. Jensen, Ph.D., Immunologist, Cancer Researcher has evaluated darkfield with fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or molecular methods. We must raise darkfield microscopy above the inept commercialism that seems to have gripped this science of late with its accompanying antiquated myths and unscientific notions about unproven qualities of commonly observed darkfield particles. Darkfield is but another tool in our arsenal to medically evaluate a being’s state of health: no more, no less.

Notes
- Until a larger number of groups have been added to this system, all available groups are currently being shown on the main page of each catagory. They will be moved to sub-group pages when necessary.
- We also list YahooGroups that were archived for use on Windows computers by our sister website groups.rifeforum.com. They offer the group's messages, files, photos and links (where available) to download complete with a powerful windows software for offline viewing for a small one-time fee.
- Any of the groups archived by that website can be migrated to this forums.group platform, as we have already done for the Minutus YahooGroup.
